Dev-mode Suggestion

The option to run the jobs synchronously in development would be really nice.

Is this possible with the current state of the package?

Yup, it could be doable, same with https://github.com/RomainLanz/adonis-bull-queue/issues/20

For now I just made a BaseJob that all other jobs inherit from

import Application from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/Application'
import { JobHandlerContract, Queue, type Job } from '@ioc:Rlanz/Queue'

export default class BaseJob implements JobHandlerContract {
  // needs to be implemented in each job, imports cannot be inherited properly
  public static get $$filepath(): string {
    // must be implemented by subclass
    throw new Error('Must be implemented by subclass')
  }

  constructor(public job: Job) {
    this.job = job
  }

  public static async run(payload) {
    const job = new this(payload)

    if (Application.inDev) {
      job.handle(payload)
    } else {
      Queue.dispatch(this.$$filepath, payload)
    }
  }

  /**
   * Base Entry point
   */
  public async handle(payload: any) {}

  /**
   * This is an optional method that gets called if it exists when the retries has exceeded and is marked failed.
   */
  public async failed() {}
}

so I'll just call the class method of SomeJob.run() and that will either queue it up or run it synchronously.

What do you think of having a flag in the configuration?

defineConfig({
  instant: true // or immediate or sync or ...
})

(I am not sure about the name)

[mattstrayer]

I like that approach! Easily configurable per environment which would be great :)
